Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn, its an AWESOME SRPGTales of Symphonia 2, its not bad at all a really great game for fans of the Tales seriesSuper Paper Mario, its a platformer but its like a hybrid with RPG since it does retain some stuff from the earlier Paper Mario games

Are you interested? The definition seems to get used pretty loosely nowadays. Used to be it was strictly for games that were more equivalent to pen-and-paper style games like D&D where you had parties made up of characters with classes and stats and experience points levelling up over time. People seem to apply the term to some action-adventure games like Zelda and Ookami, but I don't think they really fit the bill myself.

I'm not a longtime fan to be honest. The turn-based combat and random encounters in the first Final Fantasy game on the Playstation really turned me off. Now I'm older and not that keen on the roaming-around aspect of action-adventure games I can appreciate the pacing and strategic element of turn-based combat, so the fact that Tales of Grace is going to use a combat system with a 3rd-person action style really doesn't appeal, but I'm looking forward to Arc Rise Fantasia.

Fire Emblem is really up my alley though. It's like a fantasy version of X-COM/UFO except it has a linear story between combat sections, so there's less freedom, but the core game is quite similar with moving your characters about and then upgrading them or swapping equipment between battles and the risk of non-core players dying.

I'd really love to see more tactical games like Fire Emblem on the Wii, but I think it's a bit niche and I'm happy they exist on the platform at all. The upcoming WiiWare version of Nectaris/Military Madness should scratch that itch as well, but I'm hoping we'll see a Star Fox Tactics style game from Nintendo or another Front Mission game from Square-Enix which is a tactic RPG series where you control mechas.
